How do I fix the compiler error I'm getting for the UART implemented with the R_SCI UART in SSP 1.0.0?

Question:

I'm getting a compiler error that seems to be related to the UART implemented with the R_SCI in SSP 1.0.0. How can I fix this?

Answer:

This error may be related to a configuration issue within SSP in release 1.0.0 that has been fixed in later releases. The below description and attached file may help solve this problem.

There is a known issue with the configuration file for r_sci_uart in version 1.0.0. This error is fixed in the 1.1.0-alpha.1 release, but a backward compatible version for SSP v1.0.0 is available as an attachment at the bottom of this article. To use it, please open the project folder on the file system, and replace Renesas##HAL Drivers##all##r_sci_uart####1.0.0.xml with the attached version. This will fix the compiler error and another related bug in the configuration for the UART in version 1.0.0.
